Given that we find ourselves living in a day and age where pharmacists can, without the benefit of having gone to medical school, practice medicine and decide what medications you can and cannot have, based on their own personal prejudices and judgements about you and the medications prescribed by a real honest-to-God doctor, the links Trish Wilson has posted are worth repeating:

Princeton's Emergency Contraception Website

Princeton's Emergency Contraception Page

Directory of Emergency Contraception providers

FAQs about Emergency Contraception

Princeton's instructions for using combined emergency contraceptive pills

Princeton's instructions for using progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills
NOT-2-LATE table of brands of oral contraceptives that can be used for emergency contraception

A database of emergency contraception literature and documentation

International Consortium for Emergency Contraception

Association of Reproductive Health Professionals

Now, I am no more a doctor than any of the "God fearing" (read: "God-posing") pharmacists out there, so obviously I cannot attest to the quality of the medical recommendations that are made here. I repeat this only for informational purposes. Again, I am not a doctor. If only pharmacists would admit the same. Then much of this would not be necessary. (Of course, there are some radical conservatives who think their self-righteousness trumps medical training and thus qualifies them to tell doctors what kind of medical advice, diagnoses and treatments they can administer.)

I urge everyone to repost these links on their own sites, so that women who've been denied EC by pharmacists playing doctor (or just cannot afford to go to their doctor to get the special prescription) have more information on alternatives.
